Decarbonization is a mandate that dominates your everyday. But what does this truly mean? Is this an outdated term that doesn’t consider the future of the energy transition? Jan believes a more appropriate term is de-fossilization. We need to step away from the granular and understand the bigger picture; as reducing the final percentage of methane emissions will require an open mind on emerging technology, an evolution of future collaboration, and a consideration of how carbon can be used to our advantage. In this keynote session Jan will guide us through the following pathway and provide critical context for the days ahead. 

1. Energy Efficiency: Can we do it with less energy? 

2. Electrifying Everything: Not just our cars! 

3. Hydrogen and E-Fuels: What does this mean for methane?

On July 15th, the first-ever EU regulation to reduce methane emissions, the EU 2024/1787, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. This expert dialogue will bring together key industry voices and operators to discuss actionable compliance strategies and address the changes that this landmark regulation is expected to bring. This includes: 

• Identifying the key compliance requirements of new regulations 
• Analysing technological advancements and the operational needed to meet the new regulatory standards 
• Recommendations for internal re-structuring for compliance: outsourcing vs in-house expansion  
• Evaluating financial risks and opportunities: assessing the costs of implementation, potential revenue streams from emissions reduction and market shifts away from fossil fuels  
• Strategies to stay competitive while also ensuring compliance

Having first received OGMP 2.0 gold standard recognition in 2021, 2025 marks the year in which bp will have completed measurement campaigns at every one of their assets. This encompasses 8 different geographical regions, including Trinidad & Tobago, the North Sea, Azerbaijan, and Egypt. In this case study, Isabella will share the first retrospective analysis of bp’s methane journey, and their in-depth data analysis used to guide concrete abatement action. This includes: 

• Formulating data-driven strategies and abatement targets 
• Evaluating challenges and how they have been overcome  
• Leveraging data sharing between organisations to derive patterns or anomalies  
• Optimising internal processes to promote efficient measurement and reporting of methane emissions

These interactive roundtables are your opportunity to take part in facilitated group discussions with your peers. High-impact learning awaits as you engage in open dialogues about current challenges, share insights, and brainstorm solutions. Choose the discussion group you would like to attend. Each runs for 35 minutes. 

We all know methane emissions are defined by their intermittent nature and in comparison, to mobile sensing devices, CEMS present a unique opportunity to detect emitting events in real-time. However, several key questions remain regarding accuracy and implementation. In this expert dialogue our panel will: 

• Evaluate the probability of detection and the viability of continuous monitoring data within the reconciliation process 
• Debate if continuous monitoring be an accepted method for OGMP 2.0 
• Explore common challenges faced in implementing continuous monitoring systems, such as data integration, equipment maintenance, and regulatory compliance

Natural gas and LNG are expected to play a crucial role in energy security and an important role in economic security through 2050 under all EIA scenarios. With this in mind, it is imperative to adopt comprehensive strategies for mitigating methane emissions across the entire natural gas value chain. Join our expert panellists as they: 

• Provide insights into the diverse sources and complexities of emissions 
• Explore advanced materials for reducing the likelihood of leaks from pipeline systems 
• Prioritise characterisation of methane emissions from each element in the gas production, processing, and transport chain; including evaluation of specific components such as pipelines, valves, pneumatic controllers, compressors, and storage tanks 
• Champion strong communication and collaboration across the value chain to gain a clear oversight of emissions and promote sustainability

In Europe, the private sector is quickly realizing its pivotal role in supporting the evolution of transparent emissions data and driving emissions reduction. With an estimated $100 billion of investment required by 2030 for effective methane abatement, there is an urgent need for alignment between financial institutions and industry strategy. This panel will bring together leading financial institutions to discuss their approach to methane abatement within the oil and gas industry, including: 

• Understanding available financing options and initiatives for your operations 
• Discussing what companies can do to restore confidence in emissions reporting and mitigation plans and what is regarded as best practice 
• Exploring what methane data investors are using today, and what will they require in future 
• Highlighting the potential merits of the clean energy financing ratio shareholder proposal and how it ties into upcoming CSRD disclosures
